Acts 9:27 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Of Barnabas mention is made, Acts 4:36, who is thought to have been Paul's fellow disciple under Gamaliel. Brought him to the apostles; these apostles, to whom Barnabas brought Paul, were Peter and James, as Galatians 1:18,19, who being the apostles of the circumcision, or having Judea under their charge, were abiding at Jerusalem, whilst the other apostles probably were absent, being founding of churches elsewhere. He had seen the Lord, &c,: some take these things to have been related by Paul, others by Barnabas, who testified these things concerning Paul.

Acts 9:27

27 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.
